anglia4 1,856 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 I'm not going to make it. Sprog #2 will be near due, run out of annual leave, and planning a south island trip for when the new bubba arrives. Maybe next year. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a South Island equivalent of China Palace that we can terrorize during a dinner session? I dont really know what dining offers Blenheim/Nelson have tbh. I like eating food in places that sell beer in jugs tbh. Or just some beige food with some cheap beer from the supermarket works fine too. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willdat? 4,157 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Nelson will depend on where we stay... Not a lot of places left that serve jugs to be honest.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anglia4 1,856 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 Pretty sure the Stoke brewery has jugs and decent food. Unlikely to have pink pussies and PG's though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to find the shadiest chinese place in town, I'm pretty geographically challenged in the marlborough region though It def needs to have pink pussy, top gun, and the sledgehammer on the cocktail menu 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
I'm new here 3 Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 New here, new to bikes, had a friend mentioned this ride to me and I'm keen. Would make a great maiden voyage for the ct110 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky_t 91 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 In further developments, they’ve changed the speed limit from Blenhiem all the way to Nelson (I think) to 80km/h which makes the open road stretch to pelorus better for small cc bikes 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xsinclairx 1,856 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Apparently most roads aren’t engineered for the 100kp/h open road limit so they’re doing that across the country. Sure to upset a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RUNAMUCK 28,376 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Cheaper to change the signs, than to upgrade the network. Some years ago a govt passed a bill allowing them to siphon petrol tax off to waste on other shit. If they'd never done that, we'd be sweet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kicker 18,596 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Anyone know know where and how long that old bypassed bit of SH6 is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky_t 91 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 And another thought - we should ride the queen charlotte road on the way to pelorus before the mangatapu track, could do Blenhiem>picton (bit of 100km/h but not all the way) then do Picton>havelock via the queen charlotte. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
